UNIQLO Works with Aussie Print Designer Cassie Byrnes

Oz Oz Oz! Oi Oi Oi! This is one way they say it in Australia but this time, they're taking it to clothing as fashion brand UNIQLO will launch a new collection as they work with Aussie print genius Cassie Byrnes. Known for her bold prints and superb colorful work inspired by Australia's flora and fauna.

All of these are prints that have been made especially designed for Uniqlo and they've really made good decisions to put it all on shirts and shorts. It's her first time to work with the global brand and she says "These designs are very personal to me and it has been something that I've represented with different times in my life. I've been in the design practice for over 6 years and was inspired by the prehistoric landscape of Australia, particularly the age of Gondwana which happened millions of years ago." This collection includes Sugarbush, Mesozoic Garden, Souvenir print, Lotte print, and the same ones in girls dresses. Sickening no?

I could see how this would work with Moms and daughters who would love to either pair up, or mix and match with Byrnes work. It's vivid, bold and definitely something attractive to wear on a summer day! Catch these items in all Uniqlo stores starting June 7, 2021.

JOHN LLOYD CRUZ, KPOP Group TREASURE Headline Shopee 6.6-7.7 Mid Year Sale!

It's a rainy afternoon and what else do we do but cover another event from our friends from Shopee. It's already June, so during this month, they start festivities by introducing a huge 6.6-7.7 Mid Year Shopping Sale. Of course we had the pleasure of talking to their Country Manager Martin Yun, and the man himself Willie Revillame.


Martin Yu says "Thank you for your unwavering support of 2021 and with exciting milestones and campaigns, we still want to give you more at Shopee. The best brands and prizes have been given away since our past campaigns (2.2, 3.3-4.4, 5.5) and now we are here at the 6.6-7.7 Mid Year Sale. Aside from that, we've got our PayDay Sale happening every 15th of the month. We want Pinoys to be as excited every payday sale the same way as our regular sales. We have been your partner too with ShopeePay wherein you can save money, pay for bills, send money with our partners. We also got SME's digitize their industries through the Tatak Pinoy trade fair for small Filipino businesses. The national food fair have also participated and we've all seen them grow. Shopee Bayanihan frontliner packages was also launched to thank our fronliners by discounting essentials during the pandemic. This time, we will have a supersized 6.6-7.7 Sale."

Willie Revillame says "This is about the TV commercial that we featured for Shopee 6.6 and 7.7 Mid Year. We'll have cash prizes and brand new cars including a BMW X3. We will also have a brand new house and lot plus a lot of cash from Shopee. We will also have Shopee Shake and Pera o Kahon portions with the country's brightest stars in the show. The commercial was really a tedious one because we had to explain to them that we needed to show what is happening to the country, how orders, free shipping and discounts help. We also have been helping a lot of people, even indeginous communities. We're so glad that the regional bosses said yes to the project. This is service to our people, wherever or whoever you are, Shopee will be there. The last thing I purchased in Shopee is a ton of slippers, which I use in my resort in Puerto Galera. Why did John Lloyd appear in photos earlier? Well let's just say I asked him to be in the 6.6 TV special on Sunday. You will see him there! Everybody is watching the show and it is open to everyone, this is what we want to happen. From all walks of life, they can Shopee Shake, win cash and cars, watch Jennylyn Mercado, Glaiza De Castro, and more this coming Sunday. There will be 30mins of AOS that we will take over, almost 2 hours of prizes and happiness which is what Shopee wants in this season. Shopee is part of Filipino life, a household name, if you want to buy something, it's in Shopee and I hope even in the pandemic, you see changes, you see help from the app, you don't need to go out and line up for things you can order online, plus a bonus to you with discounts and free shipping. This is an extension to what we are doing in Wowowin, Salamat Shopee, salamat sa inyong lahat!"

Oh and yes, KPOP boy group TREASURE will also be performing on the show (virtually of course) so there's really a lot to look forward to. Go watch this on Sunday on GMA, they'll be starting 30 minutes off All Out Sundays and the regular Wowowin timeslot. Make sure you're tuned in! 

Thank you for also giving us the pleasure of listening and seeing Barbie Almalbis during the Shopee event. Thank you! Oh I love her!

Celebrities Use It: Beautéderm Launches Two New Products!

Beautéderm Skin Ambassadors Sanya Lopez, Ruru Madrid, Ria Atayde and Jane Oineza

If you see celebrities, do you often wonder how they take care of their skin? Why does it look flawless in spite of the crazy hours of taping or making a movie, or the heavy make up that they have to wear when in a shoot? It all comes from taking care of something basic, their skin. Beautéderm has always been in the business of doing that and in the past few years, these celebrities have sworn on how effective it is. Aside from the current ones they are using, Beautéderm has worked hard in developing new products to cater to different types of skin and hair problems. Recently, they've launched the new La Voilette Anti-pollution Hair Sanitizer and Acne Loin.

The La Voilette Anti-Pollution Hair Sanitizer comes in two scents, Sunrise Mist and Twilight Fog. It's all natural ingredients create a potent formula that aims to eliminate 99% of germs and bacteria. It also is better than using alcohol or sunscreen. This has SymUrban elements which are effective toxin neutralizers so you always feel fresh and clean. This also takes care of your hair strands, keeping it moisturized, lessen sun damage, and prevent hair fall. You can also pair it up with existing Beautéderm Detangle Hair Brush and Beauté L’ Cheveux hair oil too so you don't get your hair abused, and nourish it.

Beautéderm knows you've been wearing those masks for a long time now, and if you're a little too oily, you've probably developed pimples and acne where the mask covers it. Acne Loin is an antibacterial solution that can greatly help in reducing acne in these areas which would be good news for front liners and designated "alays' who are often out to purchase essentials.

Beautéderm President and CEO Ms. Rhea Anicoche-Tan says "It is a must to sanitize everything we hold, touch and wear every time we go out during this pandemic. When we go out for errands or simply buy from stores, we can't just go home and call it a day because we have to protect the people inside our homes. We need to shower and put our clothes in the washer, sanitize our hands and hair, including the masks we wear so we get our family and friends out of harms way!"

If you wish to know more information about these products, make sure to follow @beautédermcorporation on IG, FB or their YouTube channel as they lengthily discuss them there. I'm waiting for my own stash to use at home, we all need that!

CATRIONA GRAY Launches Own Single RYF (Raise Your Flag)

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray just recently released her single RYF (Raise Your Flag). She was in Australia, but there were media from all around the world asking questions, pretty good to see that in the morning yeah?

Catriona says "If you see discrimination on your workplace, in school, you can stand up for that. You need to empathize and listen. I believe the song's message is standing up for someone or for something. It can be as simple as an employer looking after your people, a leader looking after your community, around the world, not just the Philippines. I think that's the message from RYF.Recording is a different field, when I came back to the PH after my reign, I had to do RYF, it's lending my voice for something that I believe it. I encourage for people to do the same, to resonate with my journey and hope they too can connect with that. A lot of things have been changed but I've been working on this silently and I'm excited to release more music soon."


She adds "In RYF, there is a line that says "Whatever dreams there is in your heart" whenever you have a certain ambition, an interest, you have a dream in your heart for a reason. I really want to put it there. 2021 is going to be interesting, I have a few upcoming organizations that I will work with this year. It is my role giving back to the community and I recognize my privilege and there are people who are in hard times. I know I can be of service. When I was younger, when I was in highschool, I never knew what I wanted to do. I didn't know my purpose, but life is a journey, we have plans, but at the end of day we will be nudged to somewhere else, listen to your inner compass. At a certain point, you have to choose if you want to live for others, or yourself, it's a decision that you have to make, if you want to live your life, it's a bit of a journey."

"I want to be able to perform in different places around the world. When you put yourself out there, a new work, a new place, a new career, there is self doubt. When I submitted an entry to BB Pilipinas, I came from losing something, wanting to try again, there was so much doubt. Will I even get in as candidate? Another title? I realized that when I was on stage, I can talk for things that I care about. I searched for that feeling again, to live my life, to cry, but I can."

"RYF is an anthem for me, a personal song and I hope people connect with that. People are showing so much support and I'm glad people are appreciating the song and my music."

Her single RYF (Raise Your Flag) is now available for streaming on Spotify and other streaming sites around the world. This is under Star Music and ABSCBN. Go do it now!
